“When we didn't fear the manner in which Uddhav Thackeray's chair was taken away after joining forces with BJP, why will we be scared of this whip? They can issue whatever they want, we won't follow the whip. The Anti-Defection Law was created during the tenure of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He brought this law, but the BJP is going against the law,” Jadhav said.
“They are (Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis alliance) power hungry. They are only concerned about the election. Devendra Fadnavis does not trust anyone. He has spoiled civilized politics in Maharashtra. They have eliminated many party leaders from politics,” he added.
